Kaltbaum Capital Management President Gary Kaltbaum joins \u2018The Claman Countdown\u2019 to analyze the Nasdaq\u2019s steep decline amid concerns over tech and AI spending, Alphabet\u2019s sharp sell-off and more. \n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Google parent Alphabet lost approximately $500 billion in market value Thursday after its shares plunged nearly 13% following disappointing quarterly earnings, marking the second-largest single-day market value loss in stock market history.<\/p>\n

Alphabet’s Class A shares closed at $283.82, down 12.64%, wiping approximately $499.8 billion from the company’s market capitalization, according to The Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n

The sell-off followed Alphabet’s third-quarter earnings report Wednesday, which showed revenue of $127.6 billion, up 25% from a year earlier but below Wall Street’s expectations.<\/p>\n

The results heightened investor concerns about the company’s massive spending on artificial intelligence (AI) and slowing growth in its core search advertising business, which remains a major source of revenue.<\/p>\n

Google Search revenue grew 12% from a year earlier, down from 17% growth in the previous quarter, adding to concerns about the company’s ability to sustain growth as AI-powered search tools reshape the industry.<\/p>\n

Alphabet spent approximately $51.4 billion on capital expenditures during the quarter, much of it directed toward data centers and computing infrastructure needed to support its expanding AI operations.<\/p>\n

The company expects capital expenditures to reach between $195 billion and $205 billion this year, with spending projected to increase significantly in 2027, according to previous FOX Business reporting.<\/p>\n

Despite the concerns, Alphabet’s cloud computing business continued to grow rapidly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Google Cloud revenue more than doubled to $30.7 billion, an increase of 103% from a year earlier, exceeding analysts’ expectations of $29.2 billion.<\/p>\n

The growth reflects strong demand for AI services, but the costs of meeting that demand could put pressure on profitability.<\/p>\n

Alphabet Chief Financial Officer Anat Ashkenazi warned that Google Cloud could face near-term pressure on profit margins as the company relies on outside computing capacity to meet demand, FOX Business previously reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The results underscore a growing challenge for major technology companies as they pour billions into AI infrastructure while investors look for evidence that those investments will deliver sustainable profits.<\/p>\n

Thursday’s decline surpassed Alphabet’s previous record single-day market value loss of approximately $275 billion in July, according to Forbes.<\/p>\n

Nvidia holds the record for the largest single-day market value loss after shedding approximately $589 billion in January 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
